William Fields
My name is William Fields, a student at GMU working towards a degree in computer engineering. My interest has bounced from computer hardware, to robotics, to computer networking and communication protocols giving me a wide range of foundational knowledge I hone while conducting research for my personal projects.
In between projects I dabble in photography and illusionary art, which curbs my appetite for problem solving until I find new ideas for (quick) projects. My interest currently lies in computer vision, and object recognition. After graduation I plan to conduct further research into computer vision and hopefully conduct greater research into machine learning with robotic systems.
